Unlock Early Learning: How To Register For Preschool

Registration is opening soon for the Clover School District’s preschool program, designed to prepare 4-year-olds for kindergarten. The program helps young learners develop key skills in a positive and safe environment, according to Rebekah Benton, director of early learning and intervention.

“We are grateful for our preschool classes and thankful to the school board and district leadership for supporting early learning,” Benton said. “It’s a great opportunity for children to grow and prepare for kindergarten.”

Registration for the program opens February 26, with more details available on the district's website. The registration process includes a screening for placement eligibility, which will take place from March 17 to 28.

Since the program is needs-based, not all children who register are guaranteed placement. Preschool is a full-day program at no cost for eligible families. To apply, children must reside within the Clover School District and turn 4 on or before September 1, 2025.

The preschool program focuses on developing foundational learning skills, not on mastery of kindergarten standards. Children will engage in activities designed to foster reading, writing, and following directions, while building social skills through play and interaction with their peers. Students also have time for physical activity on the playground, where they can enjoy slides and swings. - This flows more like news. Great job!

YORK, S.C. - just After 2 and 1/2 years at the Humane Society of York County (HSYC), Gander, a lovable terrier mix, is still waiting for his forever home. Surrendered by his previous owner, Gander has proven to be a sweet and affectionate companion, winning over the hearts of everyone at the shelter with his charm and enthusiasm. During his time at HSYC, Gander completed ZOOM ROOM training, where he showcased his sharp mind and eagerness to please. His playful personality, combined with his new skills, makes him an ideal match for a family looking for an active and loving pet. Described as “100% adorable,” Gander loves spending time with humans and would be happy to share his space with a canine sibling, provided the introductions go well. Whether it’s playing fetch, relaxing on the couch, or enjoying some roughhousing, Gander is ready for a life filled with joy and affection. Gander is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested-fully prepared for his new home. Despite his long wait, shelter staff remain hopeful that the right family will offer Gander the stability and love he deserves.“He’s such a sweet boy who’s been waiting far too long for his chance at happiness,” said a shelter representative.
